Neighborhood Officer Program

The City of San Luis Obispo Police Department has created a Neighborhood Officer Program that divides the city into 13 distinct neighborhoods. The objective of the Neighborhood Officer Program is to identify community issues, concerns, problems and crime trends which have long term quality of life issues.

The Neighborhood Officer will act as a liaison between the Police Department, the community, and a variety of city agencies.

The Neighborhood Officer will also:

Assist with public education, crime prevention, and neighborhood specific problems and help with coordination of other city services

Be expected to seek out and identify issues, with solutions, within their assigned neighborhood

Track neighborhood problems and crimes that affect the overall quality of life in a neighborhood and require repeated patrol response.

If you have a crime to report, call the non-emergency dispatch line 805-781-7312. In the event of an emergency dial 9-1-1.
